Overview of Structure of the Adult Skull
The developing skull has three component origins:
•Condrocranium (base of skull / braincase)
•Dermatocranium (flat bones of skull)
•Splanchnocranium (bones derived from gill arch elements)
Mode of Germ Layer Formation Origin
Condrocranium Endochondral Mesoderm
Dermatocranium Dermal Neural Crest
Splanchnocranium Endochondral Neural Crest
CHONDROCRANIUM: Bones of the base of the skull.
•Most major cranial nerves escape the skull through these.•Endochondral• Mostly Mesodermal•Include: ethmoid, sphenoid (part), occipital (part) right and left temporal (parts).

Flat bones of skull: DERMATOCRANIUM (These and others.)
Gill Pouch Bones: become SPLANCHNOCRANIUM
This lecture will revolve around the early embryology of the vertebrate
skull. One of the landmark achievments in this was the
summary of that topic – based initially the developing embryonic
shark head – by Edwin S. Goodrich. Thus it has come to be known as the
“Goodrich Diagram”.
From Studies on the structure and development of vertebrates by Edwin S. Goodrich, 1958.
